Ryan Broyles will start Thursday's game against the Texans in place of Titus Young (suspended).
Earlier in the week, the Lions hinted that Mike Thomas would start in Young's spot and Broyles would stick in the slot. They've wisely had a change of heart. Broyles has much more rapport with Matthew Stafford than the newly acquired Thomas and projects to get more separation. He'll likely play nearly every down against the Texans' banged-up secondary and can be considered a desperation PPR play. Thomas is not a real fantasy option.
